60 Pixie Cut Ideas

There is a myth going about, surrounding the idea of the pixie cut. The myth says that the pixie cut does not flatter everyone and that you must have a particular face shape or certain features. We believe that myth is inaccurate. Consequently, this is the idea we are here to prove today. Therefore, we have rounded up 60 pixie cut examples for you to choose from and get inspired by.

1. The Simple Pixie Cut

The first idea is always the simplest. Here is a traditional pixie cut that leaves the whole of your neck exposed but that also keeps a tuft of hair in the front. Go for a tousled and messy look to style it.

2. The Slick Pixie Cut

At the other end of the messy pixie cut we’ve shown above is the very slick and shiny one. This pixie cut is more of a very short bob, borrowing that hairstyle’s trademark features. In addition, you can part your hair sideways to create the illusion of bangs.

3. The Cute Pixie Cuts

In case you want to go for a supermodel look, the likes of Twiggy and her company, this is the pixie cut for you. It’s incredibly short, yet not short enough to make you look like a teenager boy. In other words, it’s perfection in a haircut!

4. The Pixie Cut with Bangs

5. The Textured Pixie Cut

Here is another one which borrows heavily from the bob. Evidently, we don’t mind, as the bob is beautiful as well. Therefore, this haircut is caught somewhere between a bob and a pixie cut. Ask your stylist to layer it for you. In this way, you will manage it better on your own.

6. The Army Pixie Cut

This lovely lady shows us what army glamour looks like with her metallic grey hair and shorter than short pixie cut. Therefore, if you want to replicate the look, you can get a buzz cut in the back and some short bangs in the front.

7. The Two-Colored Pixie Cut

Do you know what is a great way of showing off just how proud you are of your new pixie? Dying your hair in two separate colors. Add a darker tone for the under hair and back side and a lighter, fun one on top.

8. Volume on Top

A pixie cut can also help add some inches if you’re not entirely satisfied with your height. When you get your hair cut, you can leave some longer strands on top of your head and then puff them up with some mousse.

10. The 2000s

Even though right now we are going through a revival of the 90s, that doesn’t mean you cannot borrow from the 2000s too. Here is a pic of the teen idol Mandy Moore sporting her famous chocolate pixie cut.

11. Pixie Cut and Braid

One way of looking like a real fairy is by also braiding your hair, on top of your pixie cut. The lovely lady in the picture looks absolutely stunning in an icicle blonde shade, pixie cut, and messy braid at the front.

12. The Long Pixie Cut

No, this is not a bob, as one might think. In fact, it’s a long pixie cut. It’s also layered and straightened with an iron to give it a retro vibe. In addition, the makeup is on the same lines, with an electric purple eyeshadow as the focal point.

20. Turquoise and Dream Catchers

21. The Bourgeois Pixie Cut

Here is an example that the pixie cut truly does fit anyone. As you can see, it’s a lovely ash blonde shade cut into a pixie, with a bit of volume on top and splendid pearl earrings. In addition, the makeup is demure and classy.

23. Under the Sea

24. Going Punk Rock with a Pixie Cut

In case the above example where we advised you shave off a little bit off one side wasn’t enough, here’s this. Shave it all off. As a consequence, you will be left with a lot of hair on one side, none on the other, and a truly outstanding haircut.

25. The Chunky Pixie Cut

We called this the chunky one as this is how the edges of the hair appear. It’s also close to a bob, as far as haircuts go. Therefore, you can pass it off as one, in case you get tired of the pixie cut.

26. The Spiky Pixie Cut

And we called this one the spiky, since we’re on that subject. We do believe the reason is quite clear. With this hairstyle you get a lot of spikes on top of your head, for a true messy bed head situation. As a consequence, you can look relaxed and poised at the same time.

29. The Wavy Pixie Cut

30. The Undercut Pixie

The rocking look may be obtained by cutting your hair very short in the back and on the sides and leaving the outer strands as long as you want them. Apart from that, you may also cut the underneath hair to an edge.

31. The Icing on the Cake

We loved this do so much that we called it ‘the icing on the cake.’ It is very short on the sides and in the back. In addition, the top is longer and has been styled to look like a bit of delicious whipped cream.

35. The Short and Blunt

36. Snowed Under

This lovely lady has such an amazing polar blonde hue to her locks that it looks almost natural. Consequently, you can start getting ready for winter as well with a new hair color and, of course, a pixie cut.

37. Undertones of Grey

38. The Pixie Cut for Round Face

As we mentioned in the beginning, there is no face shape that the pixie cut cannot flatter. Part your hair sideways and create an illusion of long bangs. In addition, you may also sweep it across the head in a faux mohawk.

40. The Snow Queen

41. The Edgy Pixie Cut

Speaking of which, here is another one. Evidently, this one is a bit different. It’s a lot edgier, thanks to the chunky pieces and straight lines. Apart from that, the angles of the cut are so sharp that they manage to elongate her face perfectly.

42. Black and Red

43. Ash, Blonde, and Black

Here is another spin on the idea we presented above. Only that, in this case, the lovely lady has chosen to add not two, but three colors to her beautiful pixie cut. She has dark hair in the back, an ash blonde in the middle and light blonde in the front.

44. The Claw

We endearingly called this one ‘the claw.’ The sharp edge of the cut takes on a whole new meaning with this pixie cut. In addition, you can follow the lines of your face and cut away at your bangs at will.

45. The Chic Pixie Cut

46. A Deep Brunette

This shade of intensely dark brunette will highlight just about anything. From your skin tone to your eyes, to your cheekbones and the earrings you wear. In addition, you can use makeup wisely so as to highlight those features even more.

48. The Famous Pixie

49. The Most Beautiful Colors

We’ve said this before, but it’s worth mentioning again. If you decide to go for the pixie cut, we see no reason why you shouldn’t go all the way. Here is an amazing rose gold hair color, combined with just a touch of lilac. As a result, you now look like a true pixie.

54. Pixie in the Front, Bob in the Back

55. The Curly Pixie

Don’t worry if your hair is curly. In fact, when it comes to a pixie, the curlier, the better. Keep it short on the sides and in the back and let it run in wild curls on top of your head. A perfect makeup will complement the look.

The styling here is impeccable. Her golden blonde hair pairs incredibly well with the flowery shirt. As a consequence, it makes it look like the sun has come out from a field of blue flowers. Just look at what a pixie cut can do!
